Green set in soft fabric and colours that go with it

Short answer: A green set in soft fabric goes with sand, cream, grey, black and brown shades, and a muted green is the easiest to combine. Choose a shade that suits your skin, and keep the rest of your clothes in calm colours.

Why green is easy to wear

Green comes in many shades, and most of them lie close to the colours of nature. That is why a green set looks calm and is rarely too loud, especially in a muted shade, where the colour is present without taking all the attention.

Dark, muted or light green

A dark green recalls forest and gives a calm, solid feel, while a muted green with a touch of grey is easy to combine. A light green carries more summer and can be nice on a day when you want a little extra life in your clothes. See bamboo sweatpants for women.

Colours that go with it

Sand, cream and light grey lie close to the muted greens and give a soft, unified look. Black and dark brown give more contrast, and white can brighten everything. Keep to two or three colours in total, so the set stays the main piece.

Soft fabric and how the colour looks

In a soft, slightly matte fabric the colour looks more muted and calm than in a shiny one. Bamboo viscose has a smooth surface over which the light falls softly, so a shade of green looks deeper and more alive than you often see it on a screen.

Hoodie and top on top

A white or cream top or a grey upper piece goes with the green set. A bamboo hoodie for women in the same or a neutral colour gives a unified style, while bamboo tops for women in white or sand keep it light and clean.

Shoes and accessories in calm colours

White or black shoes go with most shades of green, and brown shoes give a warmer style. Keep the accessories simple and let the green set do the work, so you get a calm whole that is easy to put on on a busy morning.

At home and out the door

A green set can be used at home when you want something soft to wear, and it can also be used for short walks or at the office if the day is relaxed. The fit decides how far you can take it, so choose one that feels calm both sitting and standing.

Care so the colour lasts

Wash the green set at a low temperature and with similar colours, so the colour does not wear or bleed. Avoid the tumble dryer, and turn the clothes inside out in the wash, so the surface stays tidy and the colour stays strong for longer.
